William Goddard, vice president of development for Michael Companies Inc. in Lanham, was selected Monday as the new head of Howard County’s Department of Fire and Rescue Services. Goddard, who will replace Joseph Herr when he retires March 1, has more than 30 years of experience in Maryland Fire and Rescue Services, and the bulk of that time was spent in the Prince George’s County Fire Department where he served as chief deputy. Previously, Goddard served as executive officer in the State Fire Marshal’s Office and as fire commissioner in Calvert County.
